I wasn't much a fan of the rebooted series, I thought the inclusion of the new character took too much focus. Almost felt to me more like a fan fiction ending with someone's OC
12 years on you can get the original creator back to storyboard everything, hire back the old VO team, and still have people complaining the show is too different :P
Makoto Iwamatsu (Aku) died in 2006 :(
Samurai Jack is so beautiful and being able to portray things / have the confidence in the art really seems to cut back on unnecessary / clumsy dialogue that so many shows have today.
The episode with the three blind archers guarding the well that grants wishes is a master class in gesticulates at everything Whenever I think of Tartakovsky I also think of his clone wars micro series he did for Cartoon Network. The episode with the special forces clone troopers that has no dialogue after the first 30-60 seconds or show is just so unbelievably good. So much tension.
It was spellbinding. When he dons the blindfold and everything goes black and silent for what feels like eternity...

I watched the whole series because of some clips from the new season. The new stuff felt more mature to me and the old stuff more like a kids show. Overall I liked both, but I get it, the new stuff felt a bit off.

> the episode with mace windu taking on an entire droid army - by himself - is what opened my imagination to the true potential that a jedi master has. As a kid, that was my favorite episode of the series first season. I still remember coming back after school catching the 5 minute micro-episodes on Cartoon Network. > it's a shame that neither the movies, nor any other tv show, have come close to conveying "why" ever…
> It ... starts becoming Dragon Ball Z with laser swords. this is a billion dollar idea. i wish i had the capital to get it off the ground, sigh. > in many cases to the detriment of consistency in lore. "Somehow, Palpatine returned" is the current state of the lore. it literally cant get worse, so why not have some fun?
Chinese animation is catching up too ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skIoRG4B2hU
Genndy Tartakovsky is a truly unique creator. Samurai Jack was so good, that I had to watch how it ends years later since watching the show on cartoon network

You always got the sense from the original that SJ was held back by the censors (Jack has cartoon Wolverine syndrome--he's got a legendary cutting edge, but is only allowed to use it on doors and robots). But I agree, after four seasons of borderline pacifist Jack, suddenly flipping to "Oh, I guess Jack kills people now" hand-waived away by a flashback of his father using lethal force when necessary, was a bit jarring and tonally inconsistent.
